“American mothers and children are some of the least healthy, and least cared-for, in the industrialised world.

Maternal mortality rates are also higher here than in economically comparable countries, and they actually increased after the mid-1980s. Today, you’re better off having a baby in Bosnia than in certain suburbs of Baltimore.”
